North Carolina is an employment-at-will state where you can be fired at any time for any reason. You can sue for wrongful firing only if you prove the firing was due to unlawful discrimination or unlawful retaliation. The key word being "unlawful" as most forms of discrimination or retaliation are lawful. I do not see any basis for a wrongful firing claim in these facts. Perhaps unfair, but not unlawful.
